Before some 2 years ago, I had never heard of blood oranges. Now it seems like they are everywhere. I love oranges, especially the kind you peel, like navels. I adore fresh squeezed but dont like doing it myself (dont like to get the citric acid all over my poor dry winter skin and the wax the stores put on the peel always ends up flaking off onto my palms – yucktastic).If you search across the food blogosphere, you will find many examples of blood orange lust. Here is a small listing for you to cruise at your leisure:

Gorgeous photo! Did you watch Dexter? The opening credits had an amazing blood orange shot and I wonder if that’s what spurred all the attention. In any case, congrats on the migration! Blogger is driving me nuts so it’s something I’ve been considering as well.

Bea: Thanks! They ARE so attractive, fun to play with. When I squeezed the juice tho, these oranges were sorta bitter. Takes some getting used to.

Lisa: Thanks ma’am. Yikes, the only Dexter I know is Dexter’s Laboratory on Cartoon Network (I dont watch much adult TV, its Wonder Pets, Backyardigans, and Mr. Rogers for me these days). Thnx re: the migration. Let me tell you, Blogger was driving me batty with its slowness, its beta version, and you can tell they are starting to make old blogger life unbearable so you have to upgrade (tho it sounds like beta is just as much trouble)

If you want to migrate to wordpress.. DO NOT go to beta first.. with WP you just hit a button and it synchs with OLD blogger and it all transfers. Not the case with beta blogger.

We are thinking about helping frustrated blogger types migrate to a server we have.. I would set up their WP and database and help them with their theme customization (in terms of plugins and such, not major site design – I can do that but it drives me batty).. We just did this for a collegue (sp) who was really frustrated with blogger. We charge to migrate and then a low monthly hosting rate.

I am NOT a salesperson, nor is my husband (we are geeks) so I am not sure where this will go.
